 	Kevin ,  Sometimes your about as helpful as passing wind .

 	How about telling him howto determine if Asterisk has loaded the module 
successfully ?

 	Maybe even a grep of /var/log/asterisk/debug or 
/var/log/asterisk/messages for app_fax .  Would have helped him more than that 
comment .  Sorry that reply just really rubbed me wrong .

 	I've found a 'visual only' way of seeing loaded modules under Asterisk 
1.4.21.2 ...

 	module reload ?  <  Should show those modules available for reload ,  So 
I expect they have been loaded successfully .

 	Here's something that would be good a 'module show loaded' command 
showing the user the successfully loaded moduels !?
